Can't quit Keka

[criswaller]

👉 To fix this issue update to v1.2.8 or newer

Due to a bug in the terminate code, if you have "Automatically download and install updates in the future" selected in a version between versions 1.2.0 and 1.2.7 Keka will need to be force-quit after it automatically updates in the background. More detailed info in #709 (comment).

Original report

I cannot quit Keka from the Dock, Force Quit or Activity Monitor. I had to use killall from Terminal.

Hi @criswaller,

Does this happens always? Only after extracting/compressing specific files? Can you check if there's any log from Keka in the Console.app?

Thanks!

I can confirm this issue exists. I have the same problem. I haven't found a pattern yet on when it happens or under what circumstances. It just happens every time I use Keka. The process doesn't react to sigterm or quitting through Finder.

What I can tell though is that there are hundreds (!) of running "Keka Finder Integration" processes running (see screenshot below).

macOS 11.0.

Wops... @cryptochrome not sure what's happening there. Can you enable the "Enable debug information" and "Save debug information" and once you reproduce the issue share with me the logs of Keka?

You can disable the Finder Extension meanwhile, not sure why you have that many. macOS is the one that spawns/kills it, not Keka directly.

@franckm-rait are you having the same problem? Not able to close Keka or too many Finder Extensions?

@aonez Yes, exactly the same problem. When I use Keka on Big Sure (X86), I can't shutdown the computer without Force Quit Keka.

Seems not to be linked to the extraction of certain type of file. Not checked on extension.
